Reviews
Natalya Ivanovna, Penza:
“I did not like the variety, I have a small garden, I try to select only high-quality subspecies. It is necessary to feed the family, therefore, was seduced by the "Tale" because of its high fecundity. However, only a trifle was born, apparently invisible. It’s probably all because of the rainy summer. ”
Igor Vasilievich, Lipetsk:
“Planted the“ Tale ”the first year. I believed the reviews about the variety on the forum of fans of this amazing vegetable and was not disappointed. I got a terrific crop on my sandstone. From one bush, we got 20 tubers weighing about 150 g of excellent quality. ”
Elena Ivanovna, Volgograd:
“We are planting a“ Tale ”for the fifth year, our summer house is small, we carefully care for the potatoes. An excellent subspecies of the popular root crop - enough for two families until the new harvest! And it’s wonderful to be kept in an ordinary cellar - all tubers are as if poured until spring. ”
